Diversity in the SEC

They absolutely needed each other, but you can't ignore that most early NPC orgs were exclusively white and Protestant. It didn't happen in a vacuum.

Right. But someone who is in a historically black group can come on here and say she loves it the way it was specifically founded and doesn't want it to change and no one bats an eyelash. If some of us in the early NPC groups that were historically white and Protestant said that we love it that way and don't want it to change we would be be hounded mercilessly.

There is a huge double standard here.

Perhaps, but as a member of the majority, why does it bother you so much?

Hole. Lee. Chit. Is the majority not to be "bothered" by injustice? That's a helluva way to dialog, discuss, and learn.

I'm not seeing any injustice. Please illuminate me about how hard it is to be white in America.

You are missing the point and assuming a double standard.

It is taking pages for some of you to stop pretending that predominantly white GLOs had no consideration of race and ethnicity in their founding and membership dynamics over the years.

Delta is proud of the role of race and ethnicity in Delta's founding (despite being at a 99% Black school), overall membership dynamics, and programmatic thrust. We do not pretend that race was invisible in the early 1900s and is invisible in 2013.

In addition to what Low C Sharp said, when more NPC and IFC get to the point of acknowledging the role of race and ethnicity (if so desired), say whatever you will about race and ethnicity. I'm not mad at you. I'm also not someone who was ever concerned about diversity in the NPC and IFC.
